"McCarthy's a liar and a coward," Omar announced about the Republican House minority leader. "He doesn't have the ability to condemn the kind of bigoted, Islamaphobia and anti-Muslim rhetoric that are being trafficked by a member of his conference."
"Why doesn't he have the ability to do that?" CNN State of the Union host Jake Tapper asked the progressive representative.

Omar maintained: "This isn't just about me, this is about all the young girls across this country who wear the hijab so proudly, who are afraid for their lives."

McCarthy defended Boebert and announced she apologized publicly and attempted to call Omar and meet in person, though was denied the opportunity. Many say that Boebert actually took back her apology in her short call with Omar.
